An old ride - very cold - what was it?

[rscott]

I vaguely recall a ride, probably around the 1990s. It's been bugging me for a long time that I cannot recall what it is.

What I remember is that you waited in line, and were "transported" somewhere (the Arctic? a different planet?) that was very cold. Not just AC, but designed to look cold (kind of like Blizzard Beach). I don't think it could have been an old iteration of Club Cool (which is coming back this summer, yeah!). I'm assuming it was at Disney World, but there's a chance I could be wrong about that.

Any ideas?

Did you see any animals after your transport? The obvious one is Wild Arctic ( including a Simulator ride) which opened in 1997 i think but that is at Sea world orlando . Apart from Club cool , I do not recall anything like that at Disneyeworld.

It doesn't really fit the description you're giving but it wasn't Universe of Energy was it?

Not Ellen's Energy Adventure?

You not thinking of Wild Artic Ride at SeaWorld are you?

There was the ice tunnel at Club Cool that had blowing snow. You had to walk through it to get inside it.

Another vote for Wild Artic at Sea World.

Another vote for Wild Artic at Sea World. Started with the simulator ride to the Arctic before entering that area with the animals.

Thank you all for your help -- I'm pretty sure it was Wild Arctic (I did go to Sea World a few times, but it didn't seem like a Sea World type attraction).

And thanks Wood Nymph -- I loved that ice/snow tunnel at Club Cool! I don't know why they got rid of it.

There was a very brief segment where the cars in Test Track were tested for high heat and extreme cold tolerance. It wasn't a big part but it was there.

The tunnel at Club Cool. There was snow in there. It was super cold. My kids loved going through there. I would go as fast as possible. Too cold for me. Actual name then was Ice Station Cool

Did they get rid of this recently? We last ride it in 2019 but I can’t remember if it was part of the ride then or not.

The only thing that comes to mind for me when comparing the theming to BB is Maelstrom at Epcot. There was a section that was meant to be cold, with polar bears. I don’t remember it A/C being cold, but I can tolerate really cold A/C.

I don't think it has been there for a few years now. The last time I rode it, it seems to me that it wasn't there and with their new setup of car design, not really a test track, the heat and cold test wouldn't be needed or even relevant. But, I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
